ATLANTA — A Chattanooga, Tenn. man has been convicted for the murder of an Atlanta man he met through online gaming.

Police say victim German “Lee” Castillo, 42, called 911 just before 6:30 p.m. to report that the back door of his home was open and two Xboxes were missing.
Minutes later, investigators say Castillo called back to say he was not sure whether Mansfield was still in the house and that he considered Mansfield to be a threat to him.
When police arrived on scene at Hilburn Drive SE around 7:45 p.m., they found Castillo dead, lying in a pool of blood underneath his carport. He was stabbed several times and sustained blunt force trauma to his head, police said.
During their investigation, police noticed Castillo’s wallet, multiple gaming consoles, gaming accessories and other electronics were missing, along with his black Toyota Corolla.
TRENDING STORIES:
Castillo’s husband told police they met Mansfield online through gaming and had paid for Mansfield’s bus tickets to travel from Chattanooga to Atlanta to spend several weekends with them.
Their relationship soured after Castillo learned Mansfield attempted to make unauthorized charges on Castillo’s debit card. They cut ties with him shortly after.
On Feb. 2, 2019 investigators found Castillo’s Toyota abandoned in an alley in Chattanooga and blood was found on the steering wheel, hood and windshield of the car, investigators said.
Using phone data, police were able to track Mansfield’s movements on Feb. 1 from Chattanooga to the crime scene and back. Mansfield was arrested at a local Chattanooga hospital after he was treated for multiple cuts on his hands.
Police say he claimed self-defense as his reasoning for killing Castillo.
He is scheduled to be sentenced in the coming weeks.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WCYB) — The Washington County, Tennessee Isaiah 117 House hosted a fundraiser event Tuesday to help support area children who are entering the foster care system.
The event took at Boones Creek Christian Church where organizers hope to raise around $20,000 to go towards funds for the house and raise awareness for the organization.
The organization which began in the Tri-Cities now has more than 60 houses in 13 states.
The group helps care for children who are entering foster care while they are waiting on their foster placement.
“We feel like we have an obligation to continue to do this for the generations to come, for the children who haven’t been born yet,” Washington County Isaiah 1:17 House Support Coordinator Katie Wilt said. “We know they are going to need us. We wish they didn’t but we know that they are, so part of this luncheon is to fundraise to make sure that we are able to sustain the care and the hope for the children of the future.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Gov. Bill Lee and First Lady Maria Lee have wrapped up a yearlong, statewide America 250 tour that spotlighted Tennessee’s role in the nation’s history.
The tour, themed “Tennessee: The Original Frontier”, highlighted people, places and events tied to Tennessee’s contributions to America. Over the past year, Lee visited all 95 counties as part of the effort to commemorate the milestone with Tennesseans across the state.
Over the past year, Maria and I have traveled from Mountain City to Memphis, and we’ve been reminded that our state’s greatest strength is its people,” Lee said. “As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, Tennesseans can take pride in the Volunteer Spirit carried forward in the individuals, communities, and stories that have helped shape our nation from the very beginning.
The tour concluded in Van Buren County at the same venue where Lee held his first gubernatorial campaign event in 2017, returning to the place where his statewide journey began.
